    Re: Should I build a LF TLR? What would it take?

    It could work, but you run into problems that there's very little light inside the camera that has to go through another lens and another aperture. However, I just really don't see the point? You...

    If you're going to do artwork, nothing much beats a D800E with some macro lenses for it's price. Sure is a whole lot better than a betterlight back.

    Re: The Intrepid 4x5 Camera

    In all honesty, it looks as simple as you can make a folding 4x5 field camera. Instead of cleverly redesigning a classic design, you've ended up making it clunkier and simply less robust.

    Re: Derogy portrait lens? (Samples inside)

    I just checked, and the two groups have the exact same focal length. It seems more then likely now that it's a mis-constructed RR, though it's still quite speedy and short in focal length.

    One way to look at it... If Kodak is going under, that means a relatively large increase in sales for Fuji, allowing them to stay in the market and possibly introduce new products. Same for Ilford.
